Nicolette | Engineer Mom@engineerinmama We started with something so simple: a piece of hard candy 🍭 Then we added a little heat, watched it change, and turned it into something completely new. What I loved most was watching the kids make it their own. They got to choose how to shape their lollipops, add their own sprinkles, and create something they could actually hold, taste, and say, “I made that.” 🥹 And underneath all that fun, there was some pretty cool science happening. 🔥 Heat changed the candy from a solid into a melted material we could shape. ❄️ As it cooled, it hardened again into a solid. It’s such a simple way to start conversations about how heat can change materials and how we can use those changes to create something new. Topics we explored today: 🍭 States of matter 🔥 Heat & melting ❄️ Cooling & solidifying 🛠️ Changing and shaping materials 🎨 Creativity & making A big thank you to @tovlajr for sending us this kit and giving us another fun way to turn curiosity into discovery. 💛 Science You Can Eat 😋 #ScienceForKids #EngineeringForKids #STEMActivities #LearningThroughPlay #KidsScienceExperiments
